A rounded belly anchors an elongated, flaring neck, giving this vase a tension between grounded weight and upward reach. Across its surface, mottled olive and charcoal give way to rust-orange passages, evoking lichen, embers, and weathered terrain.

Handmade by Kate Metten, the vessel carries the material record of reduction firing. Its surface becomes a metaphor for a life shaped by encounters: marked, altered, and given character through forces beyond its own boundaries.

One of a kind.
